AFW Meeting!

This, this pretty much summed up everything I was trying to put into words to post here. At the end of the day everyone here should be adults so why would anyone complain to mods? One would think the adult thing to do is if you have any concerns about how a match is progressing you talk to the other person, I can pretty much promise you they won't bite. I know a lot of people who like to just let matches play out and whoever looks like should win they go with that conclusion, but even if you like to rp this way that doesn't mean you can't pm the other person to ask how they think it is going or once the match seems to be drawing to an end who they think should win the match, you know, through discussion.

Now onto me personally, I have been told recently that I haven't paid my dues as it were, which once that was explained to me meant that my characters should not be involved with the more popular characters whom one might consider the upper card. Personally, if the other player and I get together and decide upon a story then I don't think someone not involved in said story has a right to look at our story and say that one of them doesn't belong there, we as players are the shepherds of our characters after all.

Now if a title belt is involved thats a different story, and the more I think about what Blue said earlier about upper card people having more to complain about, well blue's right in regards to the title belt as I doubt either party wants to lose that and who else would one go to besides the mod? But I would also say Blue that your comments might be view as belittling to those who are part of the middle card, as while those stories don't involve titles so too do the vast majority of matches between upper card characters not involve them as well, we only have a few titles after all, and thus their stories are no less important to them as your own are to you, so to compare middle card matches to one off matches or im ones can be a little belittling as mid card has stories too, if that was your intention at all.

In truth I dislike the notion of there being a mid card and an upper card. I mean just because you are in the top ten doesn't mean you're not going to ever lose again to people outside the top ten, I mean being in the top ten is like putting a target on your back, and everyone outside of it is gunning for you. Sometimes you have a bad night, sometimes the other person pulls something sneaky, or sometimes you just don't match up well character wise against someone, so why does there seem to be a stigma on lower people sometimes beating higher people? The argument might be made that as a newer character they don't have the experience to even hang with these people, but I think in an rp setting thats a difficult one to make when you consider having stats, player written histories, etc.

To address the whole thing about why people try to springboard into the upper card, when you look at the site there is zero focus on the mid card having any importance or even its existence in addition to anyone who doesn't watch wrestling on tv may not even know what that term means. The top ten ranking is about the only thing a person knows to aim for character wise, the entropy belt isnt listed as a mid card title nor is it described as being such when one asks about it. In PPV's the mid card matches don't seem to be given the same amount of thought as some of the other matches, characters from the mid card not being chosen to do matches based on their story lines but more or less used as filler for matches that are thought up.

Now I would also like to say something more light hearted, as I do love the concept of the top ten like Harrier. I just wish it changed up a bit more often, then again I have only been here half a year in total so maybe it changes more often than I realize. As just my opinion I would like to see the entropy belt, or something new which replaces it, to be more of a mid card belt like the WWE with the untied states title, gives something for use in mid card stories and can serve as jumping off point into the upper card, as of right now the entropy seems to be mostly about laughing at the entropy belt. I agree with how Blue described it.

So thats pretty much my thoughts on life, the universe, and everything. The answer is of course 42 but I don't want to know the question. I would only ask that no one you know attack me over these thoughts though light hearted and pleasant conversation over these thoughts is always welcome.
